## Chapter 276: The Scattering of the Eager Refusal
**58. In the *Sri Akhyanaka Manikose*, a story about Vishnu, the cause of the arising of karma is explained.**
1. Kanha was captured by the ropes of time, bound by the knot of the Kali Yuga. The aged prince, Jara Kumar, was present there.
2. Kanha, with the mind of a deer, was pierced by a sharp arrow in his left foot.
3. Filled with fear, he stood up and said, "Oh, oh! By what arrow have I been pierced in my foot?"
4. "Oh, oh! This is the deed of my enemy, the one who has no lineage, no name, no family, no karma. I have not done anything to him, yet he has attacked me."
5. "Alas, alas! This must be some human being, a servant of mine. This is not a deer hunter, for he has wounded me so badly."
6. "Tell me your lineage," he asked, and the hunter replied, "Oh, oh! I am born of the Hari Vamsa, a descendant of the Yadu clan."
7. "My name is Jara Kumar, a descendant of the great warrior, the one who destroyed the Yadu clan, the son of Vasudeva, the one who shines like the sun."
8. "I live in the forest of Ruru, Hari, Simha, and Sadula, a fierce forest, for the protection of the living beings. I am a hunter."
9. "This is Kanha, the aged prince," he said, revealing his identity.
10. "Come, come, come out! You are a hunter, a killer! Attack! This is Kanha, your enemy, even though he is your king."
11. "I am not a hunter, nor am I a killer. I am a follower of the path of righteousness. I am not a person of bad character."
12. "I am afraid of Kanha, the friend of the living beings, the one who has lived for twelve years. I am afraid of him because of his great power."
13. "What is the use of hiding? I am caught in the middle of a great army. Even if he is merciful, I am afraid of being captured."
14. "What is the use of doing such deeds? I am not a killer. I am not a person of bad character. Now I am thinking, where should I go to hide?"
